Question

Is the open sentence 3z=2z+5 true or false when z=5?

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hey there!

If z = 5

we replace "z" with "5"

So, let's test out the problem to see if it is true or false

Problem becomes:
`3(5) = 2(5) + 5`

Let's work this out


`3(5) = 15`

Problem becomes:
`15 = 2(5) + 5`


`2(5) = 10`

Problem becomes:
`15 = 10 + 5`


`10 + 5 = 15`

So, therefore it looks like this statement/ sentence is
`True`!
